one pending application would support investments at 11 plants in illinois, indiana, michigan and ohio. the company employs over 56,000 workers having added 9,000 new workers in 2009. some of these jobs will be at risk because of this offset. this is not the time to put american manufacturing jobs at risk. and that is why the national association of manufacturers expressed their support for the program in a letter to the senate dated september 223 noting that the program is an example of what government industry partners can accomplish and has helped and create thousands of auto sector jobs. the n.a.m. believes the funding atvm will hurt manufacturers and their employees and the chamber of commerce agrees with them. now i think it's time to stay with our position and vote no and get a clean c.r. that's what i asked the committee to do. we need a clean c.r. and don't need this offset and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from kentucky. . mr. rogers: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from virginia,

one pending application would support investment at 11 plants in illinois, indiana, michigan, and ohio. the company employs over 56,000 workers and they're adding nearly 9,000 new workers since 2009. some of the jobs will be at risk by using this offset. this is not the time to put american manufacturing jobs at risk. if you want to make it in america, you can't take away this funding. if there's one thing we've learned on the economic forefront, it's that we need a growth policy, we don't need a cut policy. cut and grow just ain't so. and i would point out that we need to get people back to work, we need -- and the way you to that is programs like this that are going to hire people instead of fire people. we have been doing a lot of firing and it hasn't worked. when are we going to wake up? when is the majority party going to realize that we've got to do something to create growth and stimulate the economy and put people back to work? the only way we're going to get the deficit down is to bring unemployment down. this is an employment program, it should be supported. we should defeat
